Hold Your Breath -- A Poem
Hold Your Breath
Cristina Michaels
Hold your breath
Hold your breath
Memorized thought
Patterns
Of
Layered sedimentary stone
Of
Nerves
Fibers delicately woven
Cloths poured onto bones
Lengthens
Lengthen
Upon an endless musical notes
Hold your breath
Hold your breath
Angular structures
Elongate
Angular structure
Plie
Structures bend
Under increased force
Feeding desires
Now breath
Now breath
Clothes become removed
Tissue shredded and resewn
Limbs move
Needled thought
Threaded through a musical note
Becomes a dream
Becomes dreams
Hold your breath
Hold your breath
Memorized nerve sensations
Memorized disabilities
Hidden
Memorized a paths around the injury
Trailhead past the pain
Erectors
Wreck havoc
Symbolic
Bones become flexible
Becomes broken
Music still plays
Upon
Musical Joints
Adhere
Broken can be told
To
Breath
Breath
My clothes are tissue
Are thoughts
My bones are a dreams
Dreamp’d
By musical notes
The whip controlled with a idea
Patterns of cloth
Material
Muscles stitched
In place
By threads of
Sound
Up stage right
Hold your breath
Hold your breath
Focus
Look and
Find the musical
Notes to
Now breath
Now breath
FIN
